WA HCA announces Review of Facet Neurotomy

The Washington State Health
Care Authority (HCA) Director has selected a group of health technologies to
undergo review and coverage decisions by the Health Technology Clinical
Committee (HTCC) beginning in 2013. On
this list the HCA placed Facet Neurotomy for Cervical and Lumbar Pain.

To gather information and
evidence for consideration in review of the selected topics, public comments
will be accepted by the HCA until January 10, 2013 at 5pm.All
comments should be submitted to: shtap@hca.wa.gov

ISIS has been very heavily involved with the WA HCA’s review of spinal
injections and due to those efforts majority of the procedures reviewed at the
time continue to be covered.We will
again do everything possible to assure appropriate coverage and access to facet
neurotomy for our patients.
